Mr. Steve Bishop (e-mail stevebishop.uk@gmail.com and website www.allofliferedeemed.co.uk) asked prof. Van der Walt on 3 August 2008 a number of questions to which he responded below. 1 Since few readers will be able to read my (BJvdW's) philosophical memoirs in Afrikaans elsewhere in this volume of Koers, this interview in English is republished here with the permission of Mr. Bishop. (Fortunately the two pieces do not overlap too much.)
